Product Details
PUMA, SOLINGEN
A SCARCE SHEATH-KNIFE, MODEL '6363 SEA HUNTER', serial no. 41582,
for the second half of 1985, with semi-serrated semi-bolo 6 1/2in. drop-point blade, the back edged for the first two thirds, the curved underside of the tip with serrations and a short saw-section near the ricasso, the left face of tip etched 'PUMA SEA HUNTER', the ricasso etched with the Puma trademark and model number together with 'STAINLESS, GERMANY', the right side of blade with etched descriptions of all the different blade features, polished alloy half-guard and over-moulded red soft-rubber ribbed handle with lanyard aperture, in a pale colour synthetic sheath, the whole appearing little used
Provenance: Often mistaken for salesman's samples, these unusual knives have every feature described in full etched to the right side of the blade such as 'Broad rest for thumb', 'Edge offset from the handle for bait chopping and other hacking', 'Flat heavy surface for clam and crab cracking and stunning', 'Fine ever-sharp serrations enable easy cuts in fish skin', 'Once the cut is started by the serrations the plain edge takes over and finishes the stroke' and 'Saw for backbones and fins'. It is unknown whether these descriptions of the functions were etched in other languages for different foreign markets or whether they were omitted altogether and therefore giving rise to the rumour that these annotated blades were salesmen samples
